"I got this script randomly – I had ironically just written a chapter in my book about my history having an eating disorder just a week prior. So it felt that the universe was saying that this is probably something you should be talking about on a much larger scale. I never reached the point where I needed medical attention and went to hospital, so...
"It sounds like a strange concept. We did it with a nutritionist who expressed from the beginning that her main concern was getting me back to good health at the end – not to leave me hanging. It's not something you'd usually go to a nutritionist with – 'I'm healthy, make me unhealthy.' So there was a lot of caution going into it. I was held accoun...
"I had already been re-reading journal entries from my experience, then I went to an anorexics anonymous group where we met young women in recovery and also their therapists. I met with the head of an anorexia clinic in LA so he gave me a lot of the factual info to understand the basics of the disorder. I also watched interviews and documentaries. ...

I wanted to control how I got there. At that time, I was dealing with high school and relationships, and you're very out of control at that stage ...
"People holding me accountable, not shying away from it and not having shame in it. Recovery is a different process and a different amount of time for everyone; I'm still in recovery. You can exist with your past eating disorder, but you can let it affect you to whatever extent you want to let it affect you. Because for so long it did for me. You d...
"I wish I had had a film like this when I was ill as it would have made me feel less alone. Asking for health is not a weakness; it's a strength. The more we vocalise how we feel then the more relatable we are and the more feedback we'll get that will make us feel less alone."
